Playing With Fire
Humility
How many of us can say that we have a proper view of ourselves? Humility begins with an understanding of who you are and who God says you are. Humility also knows who God is. Listen as Pastor Brent concludes our Playing With Fire series, exploring a virtue that’s vital to walking with Jesus and often misunderstood in the Christian community.
Perseverance
Following the way of Jesus is not about intensity; it’s about consistency. We trust in the slow work of God — in our instability, in our trials, in our heartaches. We patiently persevere with Jesus (and in community!), knowing that He is with us and for us in the race of life. Listen as Pastor Amy continues our Playing with Fire series, focusing on a life of perseverance!
Courage
In a world full of hate, destruction, and loss, one of the most repeated commands in Scripture is “do not fear.” But, courage isn’t something we manufacture. It’s something we receive after spending time with the Trinity: Father, Son, and Spirit. Listen as Pastor Brent continues our series on the virtues and disordered passions of life, focusing on what it means to have courage from the Lord.
Self-Control
Self-control in a culture of indulgence doesn’t mean we say no to everything — it’s about having the inner strength and desire to say yes to the right things. It’s the fruit of spiritual formation and ultimately one of the ways to true freedom.
Wisdom
Wisdom is more than a way of thinking. It’s demonstrated in how we live. In a world inundated with information and knowledge, wisdom tends to take a backseat to selfish ambition and boasting. Listen as we explore what Godly wisdom looks like and its importance in our communities.
Renovation of the Heart
Ignoring the state of our hearts also ignores who we really are and who God created us to be. As Pastor Brent shares in the first sermon of this new series, a renovation of the heart requires an understanding of God’s love and holiness through time sitting in the presence of Jesus. Becoming a virtuous person doesn’t happen overnight.
